Description

The dance revolution continues on the Xbox with Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2. This sequel features new gameplay modes, exclusive songs, and enhanced Xbox Live support. Now you can compete head-to-head with other dancers nationwide, conduct online tournaments, and upload content, in addition to downloading new songs, dance steps, and characters. The game also includes new game modes, including Team Battles (in which two pairs of players face off against each other) and Synch (a cooperative two-player mode where players must match up their steps while mastering the song).

Game Trivia

While not the first game in the series to support downloadable content, Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 did offer an early example of software backwards compatibility. If you had downloaded any of the song packs from the previous game, they would be immediately playable as soon as you booted up this game. However, while it was possible to download song packs from the first game through the second game's store, you would not be able to use them in the first game if downloaded that way.

This backwards compatibility would later be emulated in franchises such as Rock Band, where downloaded songs would be compatible with all future versions of the game.
